Who would have thought that the Golf Channel would have a gem like this on the airwaves. If you didn’t know, Charles Barkley had a terrible golf swing. Completely horrid. If you haven’t seen it…here is a taste.
Not pretty.
Anyway, Hank Haney, who is Tiger Woods golf coach, took on the task of improving Barkley’s swing and his golf game. It was all documented for a show called “The Haney Project” which is airing Mondays at 9 p.m. on the Golf Channel. Barkley is always hilarious and always honest (which I love, I’ve gone on record.) He is no different on the show and it adds to the greatness of it all. It also gives me something other than “Tin Cup,” Tiger Woods 09, Alice Cooper and the major PGA tour events to extend my love of golf. Especially since I don’t get to the course enough and I kinda/sorta want to immerse myself in the sport sometimes.
Even if I didn’t like Golf though, I do love Charles Barkley and his personality. He may not be the best person in the world, but he isn’t trying to be and he knows it. This is what makes him so likable in my eyes. If you get the Golf Channel, you owe it to yourself to see the show.
BONUS: Tiger Woods impersonating Charles Barkley…all while shilling for the Wii

There is only one way to fix CB’s swing and as good as Hank is it’s surprising he hasn’t thought of it yet. After teaching the game for many years I’m certain he can be fixed, but everyone will be shocked when it is finally revealed. I just hope he doesn’t quit before Hank thinks of it, and if nothing else everyone should have a lot more respect for him. What he did took a lot of courage! Go Charles!
